Trina Gavin - Jade
Yes i killed him. I killed him for money - and a woman - and i didn't get the money and i didn't get the woman. Pretty, isn't it ?
Double Indemnity
1944
Just one more row of stopped-up orifices in this giant honeycomb that was the city. Human beings shouldn't have to enter such doors, shouldn't have to stay behind them. No moon ever entered there, no stars, no anything at all. They were worse than the grave, for in the grave is absence of consciousness. And God, she reflected, ordered the grave, for all of us ; but God didn't order such burrows in a third-class New York City hotel.
Cornell Woolrich
Deadline at Dawn
1944
Because everything we trust and are used to is for a moment taken away from us ; because we stand in the midst of a transition where we cannot remain standing.
